Window Film Instructions

Please
read all instructions prior to application

This
film can be applied to all smooth clean glass, acrylic, or mirrored
surfaces.The film is not affected
by condensation.It is not for use
on outdoor surfaces, or inside where it will subject to intense heat (e.g.
behind a stove) or in the direct line of water spray in a bath or kitchen. It
has a multi-directional (all-over) pattern, so it can be placed vertically or
horizontally.

Getting
Started:

The
night before application, unroll your film and place it fully open on a flat
surface. Allowing it to ‘rest’ a minimum of 8 hours helps to settle the natural
curling and relax the tunneling (occasional separation of the film from the
backing paper) making the application much easier.

Use
a flat, clean surface such as a tabletop on which to work.

Do
not handle film when wearing clothes with loose fibers.

Do
not install in strong sunlight or on a very hot or very cold day.

If
covering an area more than 30 inches / 80 cms
wide or long, it is easier to have 2 people handling the film.

Equipment
you will need:

Window squeegee

Pencil

Spray bottle
containing cold water

Tape measure

Sharp scissors

Window scraper to
clean the window prior to installation

Craft knife or razor
blade

Cloth to mop up excess
water

Clean the glass
thoroughly.Remove all paint
spots with a window scraper. Let the area dry.

Measure the area to be
covered. Measure in various places across and down to get the correct
dimensions as windows are not always straight.

Turning the film, so
the back faces you, measure out the dimensions of the surface and then add
1/2 inch / 1cm of material on all sides.
Cut using sharp scissors.

Lay the film with the
pattern face down on a tabletop.Gently peel off the backing paper.Be careful not to crease the film while removing the
paper.Spray the film with a
light coating of water as you peel the backing away. It’s best to have one
person spray as a 2nd person peels the backing from the film.

Hold the top two
corners of the film with your finger and thumb.Place the film on the glass and move into position,
lining up the top of the film with the top of the area being covered and
lightly press into place.

To carefully smooth
out the film, place your squeegee at the top center of the film and make
small sweeping movements outward, toward each side of the window.Repeat this left-right motion
moving down the length of film, squeezing the water to the edges and
bottom of the window.Stand
back to check that all the bubbles have been removed, if not go over the
film again with the squeegee.

Trim the edges with a
craft knife.Then smooth
across the whole surface in all directions with the squeegee to help
remove any remaining water or air bubbles.

If any bubbles still
exist, pop the edge of the bubble with a pin and then squeeze the water
toward the pinhole with your fingers.

THE FILM NOW NEEDS TO
DRY FOR AT LEAST 36 HOURS.Any remaining condensation (foggy effect) between the film and
window will dry during the course of the first week after the application.

Maintenance

Clean only with a lint free cloth; do not use any
abrasive cleaning materials or cloths.

To Remove

Gently warm the surface using a hairdryer, then
peel back the film from one corner until you get a firm grip.When you are sure you have a firm hold,
pull briskly away from the glass. Any remaining glue residue on the surface can
be removed with mineral spirits and a window scraper.
